I believe the time zones are actually somewhat better for Asia (who would be often tuning in during late morning) than it is for places in Europe (who would be waking up in the wee hours of the morning to tune in). In the ATL for the most recent Avalanche game, there was a Chinese national who mentioned watching it in his office at work in the morning.
Regarding exposure - it certainly is a big deal, since we don't have a Yao Ming. Maybe the Flames should try to trade for Andong Song since Snow is on the warpath.
